Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, written and published during 1789-90, has become a classic of English
conservatism, and that is the reason it is still being read nearly two hundred years later. John Pocock's edition of Burke's
Reflections is two classics in one: Burke's Reflections and Pocock's reflections on Burke and the eighteenth century. - Publisher

"In 1757 the 27-year-old Edmund Burke argued that our aesthetic responses are experienced as pure emotional arousal, unencumbered
by intellectual considerations. In so doing he overturned the Platonic tradition in aesthetics that had prevailed from antiquity
until the eighteenth century, and replaced metaphysics with psychology and even physiology as the basis for the subject. Burke's
theory of beauty encompasses the female form, nature, art, and poetry, and he analyses our delight in sublime effects that
thrill and excite us. His revolution in method continues to have repercussions in the aesthetic theories of today, and his
revolution in sensibility has paved the way for literary and artistic movements from the Gothic novel through Romanticism,
twentieth-century painting, and beyond. In this new edition Paul Guyer conducts the reader through Burke's Enquiry, focusing
on its place in the history of aesthetics and highlighting its innovations, as well as its influence on many subsequent authors
from Kant and Schiller to Ruskin and Nietzsche." from back cover

The immediate cause of this 1770 tract was the violent controversy surrounding a radical member of parliament, John Wilkes,
but Burke's commentary transcended this subject to grapple with more enduring questions of the proper apportionment of power,
under the spirit of the British constitution, between king and parliament
